Whitechapel Gallery

ArtClosed · Opens 11amFreeAldgate East

Depuis 1901, la Whitechapel a le don de repérer les artistes avant tout le monde : elle a offert à Picasso sa première exposition au Royaume-Uni en 1939 et contribué à lancer les carrières de David Hockney, Lucian Freud et Mark Rothko. Agrandie, la galerie est un espace lumineux et généreux, porté par un parti pris curatorial affirmé. Les nocturnes du jeudi soir sont gratuites et conviviales. L'un des hauts lieux de l'art à Londres, sans les tarifs ni la foule du West End.
